Desmosterol Incorporation Into Ram Sperm Membrane Before Cryopreservation Improves in vitro and in vivo Fertility

Desmosterol Incorporation Into Ram Sperm Membrane Before Cryopreservation Improves in vitro and in vivo Fertility

Pregnancy rates in ewes are markedly low after cervical insemination with frozen-thawed sperm. Sensitivity of ram sperm to freeze-thawing is related to the lipid composition of the membrane, particularly to its low sterol content. Recently, we proved that sterol content of ram sperm can be increased...
